We must have equal citizenship. We must all as citizens be equal before the law. This issue is not about Shamima Begum it’s about the two tier system that we now have that punishes British people not for their conduct but for their heritage. We cannot have first class and second

A lesson in patriotism 🤷🏻‍♀️ When the choice is between a foreign leader and our state funded broadcaster true patriots always choose the foreign populist leader who is threatening to sue the publicly funded BBC 🙄 Nothing says loyalty to your country stronger than supporting

With the BBC facing the threat of legal action by President Trump for doctoring footage of his speech, Starmer has a choice to make. Does he support President Trump or does he continue to defend the BBC’s misleading reporting. The choice is clear. I know whose side I’m on.

At its core the battle for NYC was the politics of fear and division against the politics of hope. This is a fantastic moment we can all celebrate whatever our politics, left or right because hope won🙌 Hope won there and it can win here. Many many congratulations to a young man

This is one of the most important speeches given by a US politician in my lifetime. Thank you @ZohranKMamdani for standing up to the bigots, calling out the Islamophobes, and your pride in your faith at a time when Republicans & (some) Democrats have embraced anti-Muslim bigotry.

Mamdani: Yesterday, Andrew Cuomo laughed and agreed when a radio host said that I would cheer another 9/11. Yesterday, Eric Adams said that we “can’t let our city become Europe.” He compared me to violent extremists, and he lied when he said that our movement seeks to burn

Muslim communities have endured unacceptable hate and threats of violence. An attack on any community is an attack on us all. We've announced £10 million in additional funding to support vital security measures to protect Muslim communities from intimidation and violence.

This is nonsense. “Communities” aren’t equal before the law. Individuals are. Muslims like Christians aren’t a race. Religious discrimination is already illegal. What legal religious privileges do Jews and Sikhs have and others lack? She’s demanding an Ottoman millet system.

Everyone in our country should be equal before the law. Jews and Sikhs have protection and privileges both as a religious community and a racial community and so must Muslims, Christians and others.

So can we just be clear. We’ve now reached the point where Tory frontbenchers like Katie Lam - not Tommy Robinson, not Nick Griffen - are openly advocating the deportation of LEGAL migrants on the grounds we need to assert cultural purity. It’s utter insanity.
